The Manchester-based group at Hugh James stands out for its ‘dedication and commitment’. The team is well-equipped to handle a wide array of complex RTA matters on behalf of adult and child claimants who have suffered severe injuries in such circumstances. Mark Robinson is noted as ’tenacious in fighting difficult points’ and Gary Herbert has experience in handling brain and spinal injury cases. Jeanne Evans leads the practice with support from Cardiff-based practitioners Cari Sowden-Taylor and Ciaran McCabe. Team changes include the 2024 retirements of former team lead Hugh Potter, as well as Alison Hartley and Jeremy Smith, and the mid-2025 departure of Richard Edwards to his own firm.
